On June 3, 2017, radical Islamist terrorists once again struck London, England, with an attack that killed 8 people and injured another 48, as well as costing all 3 terrorists their lives. The weapons used in the attack were a delivery van and knives. The unarmed public and the 4 unarmed police officers on the scene were helpless to stop the attackers, though armed police that finally responded shot the 3 terrorists dead. It took armed police 8 minutes to arrive, which undoubtedly seemed much longer to the victims. All 3 terrorists were also found to be wearing explosive vests.
